These extremely amusing headlines are a far cry from investigative journalism, but we are definitely completely engaged. It's amazing to see the kind of crap that slid by the attention of "editors" during the heyday of print. These headlines will make you laugh, face-palm, and maybe even smile at their sheer stupidity. Happy reading!

These headlines aren't quite at Florida Man levels of insane, but they certainly are up there. We just want to know who allowed these things to be put into print. Either these publications have incredibly negligent editors, or the writers were just having a little fun trolling the masses - or perhaps both.

Can you believe the beloved Calvin and Hobbes has been around for 34 years already? We know, it's pretty surreal given that many of us grew up looking forward to the comics, created by Bill Watterson, in the newspaper. We love it for its relatable wittiness, adorable charm and the occasional bout of existential dread!

Oh look, we're back with even more baffling stupidity! This time it's a roundup of insanely WTF headlines that clearly were written by overworked journalists at 3 am. But still, wasn't there an editor who had to have seen these before they went to press? Either way, scroll down to see the level of stupidity we're dealing with here!

Police see a lot of crazy things in their line of work. These are some of the more hilarious examples. It's pretty clear the police officers who took these reports might have had a sense of humor. It's just too bad we don't get to hear them tell the full story.

Irish writer Seamus O'Reilly has been trolling newspapers like Metro with "Rush Hour Crush" letters and stories of good samaritans. Though a lot of them get rejected, these hilarious fake stories have made it in the paper more than a few times. As O'Reilly told Mashable, "It's not for me to say I'm a genius of the short form letter gag. That's for others to say. On a near constant basis. To every single person that they meet." Enjoy.
